Top Taxi driver

Sakaria Thomas has never received a single traffic fine since he started driving his taxi three years ago. “I always make it a point to do the right thing by never speeding, obeying traffic signs and most importantly bringing my customers safely to their destination,” said Thomas. It is this positive mindset that has recently earned him the weekly Kosmos Top Taxi Award. For Thomas this is his first big surprise and looks forward to buying new wheels for his taxi with his N$3000 prize money, courtesy of Standard Bank Namibia. He was also presented with a medical aid kit from Namibia Medical Care.
